Me and My Household

Me and My Household

In reading through the Book of Acts, I noted that the famous conversion of the Philippian jailer included his entire household. Paul told the jailer: “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with your entire household.” They shared the word of the Lord with him and all who lived in his household. He and his household were immediately baptized. He and his entire household rejoiced because they all believed in God. Acts 16:31

Many years before that time, Israel’s new leader, Joshua, declared: “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord”

In cultures around the world, households are embracing Christianity as a group. We see entire households coming to our health clinics. We hear stories of entire households becoming followers of Jesus. In the Arab world, entire families listen to the Message through Internet, satellite, and podcasts.

So HCJB Global is launching the Me and My Household initiative. We want to share the Message of Jesus to households everywhere! So we’re challenging households of America to pray for their households, to reach out to their communities and to join us in reaching out to the world. Here’s how it works:

1. We have to be praying for our own households if we’re to reach others. So we’re offering a free prayer E-card Christians can use to send a prayer to their immediate and extended families. And we’ve created a website (Hcjbglobal.org/myprayer) where anyone can send a prayer card to their household telling them they’re praying for their extended and immediate family.

2. The next step is to reach out and impact our communities. We want to mobilize U.S. households to reach households in their community. We’re sponsoring a nation-wide contest that allows Christians to submit outreach projects to households in their community based on HCJB Global’s commitment to declare and demonstrate Jesus to others. Contest winners will receive cash prizes towards the local project they submitted.

3. As we pray for our own households, we’ll be ready to pray for households around the world. HCJB Global is inviting U.S. households to stand with us and impact the households of the world through the voice and hands of Jesus. We especially want to challenge households of America to pray for unreached households and to give 1 dollar to reach 1 household in Arab world for 1 year.

We’re already hearing from radio stations in the U.S. who are excited about helping listeners pray for their families, pray and reach out to households in their communities, and reach households of the world. Millions of households can be reached in next 5 years through HCJB Global outreach as we encourage U.S. families to give to reach the households of the world.
